Abstract

The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.

Objective

Real-time digital audio processing on a modern microcontroller Modern microcontrollers are sufficiently powerful to run real-time audio processing algorithms. Since such microcontrollers can be programmed using a high-level programming language (e.g., C++) and they support floating-point computations, implementation of audio-processing algorithms is quite simple. In this P&S you will - learn the basics of digital signal processing (DSP), - solder a PCB with surface-mount (SMD) components, - learn to program modern microcontrollers, and - implement an audio effect (signal processing algorithm) of your choice on a real-time system that you soldered yourself :smile: There will be a weekly in-person class/exercise session taught by the P&S supervisors (4h per week). In addition, the students will work independently to solder the PCB and to implement their algorithm; this is estimated to take an additional 4h per week. Prerequisites: - you play a music instrument and/or have a strong interest in audio processing or music - you are motivated to work on your project independently in addition to the supervised 4h per week
